Biden Dumps Student Loan Forgiveness Plans: What It Means For Borrowers, Loan Providers Like SoFiThere is perhaps no more quintessentially American phenomenon than widespread panic over strange lights in the sky and the unknown implications thereof. From Orson Welles' panic-inducing broadcast of "The War of the Worlds" to popular culture's obsession with flying saucers outside of Roswell, New Mexico, ours is a country that seemingly cannot help but look up and wonder: "What the heck is that?" For the past several days, that has been the question on the minds of New Jersey residents baffled and unnerved by a sudden proliferation of supposed drones hovering over the Garden State without warning or explanation. The mysterious lights have prompted demands for federal investigation as speculation about the unmanned aerial vehicles runs rampant throughout the state and across the eastern seaboard. As theories abound and lawmakers urge calm, here's what people know about the unexplained drone swarms, and why some officials are ringing the alarms about what they might mean. What did the commentators say? The Biden administration has worked to preempt panic over the drone swarms. There is "no evidence at this time" that they "pose a national security or a public safety threat or have a foreign nexus," White House National Security Communications Adviser John Kirby said last week. Nevertheless, "something's going on," Washington Township Mayor Matthew Murello said on " Good Morning America ." "I'm not trying to stir anything up, but we all know — if you just turn on the television — that drones can be used in an aggressive fashion." With recent unexplained drone sightings in "at least eight states," there remains "significant confusion about the exact nature of the sightings," CNN said. "There's a lot of us that are pretty frustrated right now," Rep. Jim Himes (D-Conn.) said on " Fox News Sunday. " For officials to say "'We don't know' is not a good enough answer," Himes said, demanding the government "put more information out there" to ease public concern. "More federal resources are needed to understand what is behind this activity," New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy (D) said in a letter to the Biden administration requesting aid in investigating the drones. "Existing laws limit the ability of state and local law enforcement" to conduct their own inquiries and counter-operations effectively. Those limitations haven't stopped some New Jersey officials from engaging in their own examinations. Over the weekend, Sen. Andy Kim (D-N.J.) documented his own excursion with local police across Hunterdon County to get "different vantage points" on suspected drone activity. Ultimately, "most of the possible drone sightings that were pointed out to me were almost certainly planes," Kim said. Even so, Kim said, it's "hard to understand how with the technology we have we aren't able to track these devices to determine origin" — a challenge that made the senator "much more concerned about our capabilities more broadly when it comes to drone detection and countermeasures." Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-N.J.) has been even more aggressive, accusing defense officials of "hiding the truth" about the drones' origins from an Iranian "mothership," Politico said. Drew's allegation, at which officials "balked," only serves to highlight "how drones, once the play toy of amateur photographers, are fast becoming a national security concern." What next? Biden administration officials have begun acting on requests from local lawmakers, including New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D). Her "calls for additional resources" prompted "our federal partners" to send a "drone detection system to New York," Hochul said on X. Still, "Congress must pass a law that will give us the power to deal directly with the drones," Hochul said. Accordingly, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) is "working to pass a bill in the Senate to give local law enforcement more tools for drone detection," he said on X . The incidents have also become partisan fodder in the waning days of the Biden administration. The White House's lack of transparency on the sightings is a "reminder that the general attitude of this White House towards the American people has been, 'you don't need to know that,'" said Fox News ' David Marcus. And while President-elect Donald Trump "can't imagine it's the enemy," the Biden administration would be "better off saying what it is our military knows and our president knows," Trump said on Monday.CHAN 2024Q: Home Eagles land in Uyo for Ghana Black Galaxies clashThe Police Service Commission (PSC) has approved the promotion of 11 Commissioners of Police (CPs) and 16 Deputy Commissioners of Police (DCPs) to their next ranks.

Humble ISD trustees will consider naming a lone finalist for the district’s vacant superintendent position on Dec. 17—less than a month after terminating former Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen’s contract. The details The specially called meeting will be held at 6 p.m. Dec. 17 at the district’s Board, Business & Technology Center, located at 20200 Eastway Village Drive, Humble. How we got here The meeting is coming roughly three weeks after trustees voted 6-1 in favor of formally terminating Fagen’s contract . In May, trustees voted 4-2 in favor of placing Fagen on paid administrative leave before voting 4-3 in July to propose the termination of her contract . Fagen initially appealed the board’s decision to the Texas Education Agency , which resulted in a three-day hearing held on Oct. 31, Nov. 1 and Nov. 6. While her initial appeal was unsuccessful, Fagen said she will now appeal the matter directly to TEA Commissioner Mike Morath. Deputy Superintendent Roger Brown has been serving as acting superintendent since Fagen was placed on paid leave. What’s next HISD Chief Communications Officer Jamie Mount said the board will need to wait at least 21 days after naming a finalist before trustees can vote to formally appoint a new superintendent.
BlackSky Technology ( BKSY 3.37% ) missed analyst forecasts for both sales and earnings earlier this month, but investors didn't seem to mind very much. Shares of the commercial spy satellite operator actually closed out last week above $8, gaining about 9% from their pre-earnings price. Considering that this space stock missed analyst sales forecasts by more than 18% (sales were $22.5 million rather than the $27.5 million forecast), and missed on earnings, too (losing $0.66 per share instead of just $0.65), investors' enthusiasm for the stock is a little surprising. Maybe more than a little, considering the stock has been relatively unpopular among space investors since conducting a reverse stock split in September. Ordinarily, the math of "reverse split plus earnings miss equals rising stock price" wouldn't seem to add up. So why is BlackSky stock on the rise these days? BlackSky by the numbers Let's take a closer look at the third-quarter numbers and see if we can find out. Year to date, management pointed out, sales are up 22% at BlackSky. But Q3 in particular seems to have been a weak sales quarter in a strong sales year. Quarterly sales came in just 6% above Q3 2023 levels. (And on the bottom line, BlackSky flipped from a Q3 2023 profit to a Q3 2024 loss.) But not to worry, says management. While BlackSky may have billed only $22.5 million in revenue in Q3, it signed multiple "multi-year contract bookings" and they're worth "up to $780 million" in total, in future revenue. Two of these contracts bear special mention. For "up to" $290 million spread over five years, BlackSky will "monitor global economic and environmental activity and military capability," including "objects of interest such as aircraft, ships, vehicles, and shipping containers," for the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NGA). BlackSky also received an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity ( IDIQ ) contract to support NASA Earth observation research missions through November 2028, and this one is worth "up to" $476 million. Add them up, and these two contracts account for $766 million of the $780 million in work BlackSky seems to be saying it won in the quarter. For a company that collected just $107 million in revenue over the past year, that would qualify as real hypergrowth -- a parabolic uptick in sales. Even spread out over five years, $766 million works out to an extra $153 million in annual sales -- more than 140% growth. Caveats and provisos But don't forget to read the fine print. While BlackSky's descriptions of its contract wins sound promising, the company was a bit vague on the details, and about one detail in particular. Specifically: If you examine the contract awards themselves, rather than just the press releases that BlackSky put out about them, or the even more terse summaries in the earnings release, it turns out that both of these contracts were awarded to multiple winners, of which BlackSky was only one. Put another way, BlackSky didn't win hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue -- but merely the right to bid against others for the work. For example, the $290 million NGA award will be divided up among 10 separate winners, including heavyweights such as Airbus , Booz Allen Hamilton , and Maxar Intelligence. Similarly, NASA's gigantic $476 million "Commercial SmallSat Data Acquisition Program On-Ramp Multiple Award contract" names seven other winners in addition to BlackSky. To win a share of the loot, BlackSky must beat out heavyweights such as MDA Geospatial, Planet Labs , and Teledyne . BlackSky will grow, but a lot slower than "hyper" Now, there's every reason to hope BlackSky will be able to successfully bid for and receive a share of the work under both these awards. In particular, the company noted that it's already won at least one NGA award in the past (worth $60 million). But investors expecting BlackSky to get all $766 million of the monies on offer are in for a rude surprise. BlackSky getting all the money on offer, I fear, is probably a pipe dream. As only one among 10 companies bidding on the NGA contract, and one of eight bidding on the NASA contract, BlackSky's actual winnings will almost certainly end up a small fraction of the total -- and could be nothing at all. And as for BlackSky turning an actual profit, even the most optimistic analysts don't see that happening before 2027 at the earliest.MGX DEADLINE MONDAY: ROSEN, A TOP RANKED LAW FIRM, Encourages Metagenomi, Inc.

Now, the honour will be bestowed on him twice. Time will name Trump as this year's choice on Thursday, recognising the president-elect as the individual or group deemed to have wielded the greatest influence on global affairs "for good or for ill." To celebrate the unveiling of the magazine cover, Trump will ring the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange, a source familiar with the matter told CNN. Trump sat for a wide-ranging interview with the magazine last month. Time declined to comment. Trump's 2024 selection mirrors his first recognition in 2016, when Time named him Person of the Year after his unexpected rise to the presidency. This time, the unveiling caps a remarkable comeback and a resurgence that has the potential to upend modern American politics. Despite the magazine's dwindling circulation, Time's Person of the Year remains an annual cultural touchstone and the distinction has become an obsession of sorts for Trump throughout the years. A Time cover naming him Person of the Year in 2009 hung in several of his golf clubs, The Washington Post reported nearly a decade later, though no such issue was ever printed. Through his widely followed Twitter account, Trump regularly weighed in on the annual selection and amplified accounts suggesting it should be him. He criticised the magazine in 2011 for picking "The Protester" in a nod to the revolutions breaking out across the Arab world and the Occupy movement in the US. A year later, he said Time had "lost all credibility" because it failed to list him among its 100 most influential people of the year. Trump has also privately complained about the choices, in particular when Taylor Swift won in 2023. Trump has often been fixated on the power the pop star wields and posted, "I hate Taylor Swift," on social media earlier this year after she endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris. Over time, the title became a symbol of the mainstream fame and respect Trump sought out but appeared out of reach. In 2015, when the magazine named then-German Chancellor Angela Merkel its Person of the Year, he wrote on Twitter, "I told you @TIME Magazine would never pick me as person of the year despite being the big favorite," before adding: "They picked person who is ruining Germany." Even after Time named Trump its person of the year in 2016 - which he called "a great honour" on social media - he continued to closely monitor the results. The following year, Trump claimed he was in the mix for the distinction again but wouldn't agree to an interview and photo shoot. Time disputed his version of events. Despite his regular criticism of the media, Trump has regularly granted access to legacy outlets - including Time . He sat down for an extended interview in April of this year with the magazine at his Palm Beach club. Harris turned down a similar opportunity, the magazine's owner said in October. Over the decades, the title has been granted to a wide array of figures, from heads of state and activists to entrepreneurs and, in some instances, brutal authoritarian leaders. Every US president since Franklin Delano Roosevelt, except Gerald Ford, has been named Person of the Year at least once. President Joe Biden and Harris were co-honorees after they defeated Trump in 2020. Members of Trump's family are expected to attend the Thursday event, including Ivanka Trump, according to a source familiar with planning. It marks a rare public appearance for the president-elect's daughter, who served as a senior adviser during his first term. - CNNEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield embarrassed the woeful Giants with his arm and legs, and if that wasn't enough, he rubbed it in by mimicking New York fan favorite Tommy DeVito's celebratory dance after scoring a touchdown. Mayfield catapulted into the end zone on a spectacular 10-yard scramble for one of Tampa Bay's four rushing TDs, and the Buccaneers beat the Giants and new starting quarterback DeVito 30-7 on Sunday, snapping a four-game losing streak and extending New York's skid to six. With both teams struggling and coming off byes, most of the focus leading up to the game was on the Giants' decisions this week to bench and then release quarterback Daniel Jones. The brash DeVito was given the starting job and asked to spark coach Brian Daboll's team, as he did last season. Instead, Mayfield provided the energy with his play and his trolling of DeVito. “Tribute to Tommy,” said a straight-faced Mayfield, who was 24 of 30 for 294 yards. “He’s a good dude, that’s why. Most of the times, I don’t know what I’m going to do. It’s spontaneous.” Mayfield was asked several times about the gesture and admitted he wanted to give Giants fans something they liked, adding he met DeVito at the Super Bowl in Las Vegas in February. “He had his chain blinged out, swag walking through the casino. It was awesome,” Mayfield said. “It was like a movie scene, honestly.” DeVito did nothing to help the NFL's lowest-scoring offense. He threw for 189 yards, mostly in the second half with New York well on its way to its sixth straight loss at home, where it is winless. Meanwhile, the Buccaneers dominated in every phase in a near-perfect performance that featured TD runs of 1 yard by Sean Tucker, 6 yards by Bucky Irving and 1 yard by Rachaad White. After recent losses to the Ravens, 49ers and Chiefs, Tampa Bay (5-6) moved within one game of idle Atlanta in the NFC South. “We’re hoping it builds confidence,” Mayfield said. “We have a belief that we are still sitting and controlling our own destiny.” Tampa Bay scored on five of its on first six possessions to open a 30-0 lead, and none was more exciting than Mayfield's TD run with 12 seconds left in the first half. On a second-and-goal from the 10, he avoided pressure and went for the end zone. He was hit by Cor'Dale Flott low and Dru Phillips high around the 2-yard line, and he was airborne when he crossed the goal line. The ball came loose when he hit the turf but he jumped up and flexed, DeVito-style, as the Bucs took a 23-0 lead. DeVito said players talked about the celebration in the locker room but he did not see it. Daboll was asked about the gesture and said Mayfield played well. He said the Giants' poor performance had nothing to do with Jones being released. “No excuse on that,” said Daboll, whose job is on the line despite making the playoffs in 2022. “We just didn’t do a good enough job.” “We played soft, and they beat the (expletive) out of us,” defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence added. Mayfield's favorite target Mike Evans returned to the lineup after missing three games with a hamstring injury and had five catches for 68 yards. Irving had 87 yards rushing and six catches for 64 yards. The Bucs held New York to three first downs and 45 yards in the first half, and they finished with 450 yards to the Giants' 245. DeVito had a 17-yard run in the fourth quarter to set up a 1-yard touchdown run by Devin Singletary. The brash New Jersey native was sacked four times, including once in the fourth quarter, which forced him to go to the bench for one play.
